If we don't get in or have a horrible seed which two games will you point to?

For me it's Arizona by two and Northeastern at home. If we had won those two, I'd be relaxed right now. Arizona would be great on our resume, NE is just embarrassing.

I can't remember, was Bridges out for the Northeastern game? If so that might help.

I am anxious to hear more input for how and where I should hang on to past shortcomings of a young team to set blame for failing to reach your expectations.

One thing is for sure - Izzo blew the Ohio State game

Yes.

I read DWags initial post as "Northwestern" and thought.. wait a sec: a) "I don't remember losing to Northwestern at home" and b) "Northwestern is pretty darn good"..

then I re-read it.

Northeastern, Penn State, Ohio State - in that order.

I keep hearing announcers/analysts cut Izzo slack for Bridges being hurt. Maybe that has more of an effect for us than we see locally.

I don't understand the anger, but I apologize if the thread upset you. I mean no harm to the kids on the team. But, yeah, whatever.

Not angry and not a sunshine optimist.  In my worthless opinion Coach Izzo pissed away a couple games this year.  His substitution patterns are well known for breaking momentum for his team and lack of timeouts for breaking momentum for the other guys.

I only ask what victories by this young squad will you point at that propel them to the tourney not losses that keep them out. I want you to be happy Dwags not cynical.

Same. Gotta go with these three. I know DWags only wanted two, but I always give three. It's quite disappointing to my wife.
